A cyclic AMP-binding protein of human erythrocyte membranes was solubilized with 0.3% Triton X-100 in 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.4) at 4 degrees C, and purified by DEAE-cellulose column chromatography and affinity chromatography on a cyclic AMP derivative-fixed Sepharose 4B column. The purified cyclic AMP-binding protein showed a single band (molecular weight: 49,000) on examination by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and the band was specifically labeled with a photoaffinity analogue of cyclic AMP, 8-N3-cyclic [2-3H]AMP. This protein bound 1.6 mol of cyclic AMP per molecule with an association constant of 3.8 x 10(9) M-1 and the optimum pH for binding was 7.4. The protein inhibited the activity of a purified protein kinase from human erythrocyte membranes [Suzuki, K., Terao, T., & Osawa, T. (1981) J. Biochem. 89, 1--11], while cyclic AMP restored the enzymic activity. The amino acid composition of this protein was different from those of cytoplasmic cyclic AMP-binding proteins. These observations indicate that the cyclic AMP-binding protein purified in this work is the regulatory subunit of a membrane bound cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase.

The oxalate transport system along with protein phosphorylation appears to be deranged in stone formers. This study was undertaken to characterize in LLC-PK1 cells in culture the effect of altering specific intracellular second messenger systems on oxalate uptake. Cellular uptake experiments were performed at 37 degrees C in buffer [265 mM mannitol, 5 mM NaOH, 5 mM KOH, 10 mM Ca-EGTA, 25 mM HEPES/TRIS, pH = 7.4 or in Hank's balanced salt solution (HBSS)] containing 200 microM labeled oxalate (1-14C, 0.3 microCi). Cells were preincubated with DAG (final concentration of 100 microM), phorbol myristate acetate (10 microM), forskolin (50 microM), 8-bromo-cyclic AMP (50 microM), trifluoroperazine (20 microM) and low molecular weight heparin (1 mg/ml) for 10 min in the presence and absence of the anion transport inhibitor DIDS (100 microM) and the effect(s) on oxalate uptake at 10, 25 and 45 min incubation were determined. Chemicals (DAG, forskolin, TPA and 8-bromo-cAMP) which stimulate protein kinase A or C activity resulted in an increased uptake of oxalate while inhibitors of these systems (trifluoroperazine and low molecular weight heparin) resulted in decreased oxalate uptake. The results demonstrate that oxalate uptake in renal tubular cells is modulated by protein kinase C and A dependent mechanisms.

Myristoyl-CoA:protein N-myristoyltransferase (NMT) catalyzes the addition of myristate to the amino-terminal glycine residue of a number of eukaryotic proteins. In this report, a simple and rapid purification as well as the properties of this enzyme from bovine spleen is described. Using combination of ammonium sulfate precipitation, chromatography on SP-Sepharose fast flow, phenyl-Sepharose CL-4B, DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B, and Superose 12 (HR/30) gel filtration fast protein liquid chromatography, the enzyme was purified 1475-fold with a high yield. Under native conditions, the enzyme exhibited an apparent molecular mass of 58 kDa, whereas under denaturing conditions the enzyme represented an apparent molecular mass of 50 kDa, suggesting that spleen NMT is a monomeric protein. The NMT activity could be greatly activated to severalfold with the use of Tris-HCl buffer. Kinetic properties indicated that spleen NMT had an apparent low Km for pp60src and myristoylated alanine-rich C kinase substrate as compared with cAMP-dependent protein kinase and the M2 gene segment of reovirus type 3-derived peptides. Bovine spleen NMT was potently inhibited in a concentration-dependent manner by NIP71 (a bovine brain NMT inhibitory protein) with a half-maximal inhibition of 0.816 microgram/ml. Results of this study along with the existing knowledge on NMT indicate that the activity of enzyme resides in a single polypeptide chain of molecular mass between 50 and 68 kDa.

Mg-ATP-dependent protein phosphatase activating factor [kinase FA/glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK-3)] has been identified in highly purified clathrin-coated vesicles (CCVs) isolated from pig brain. Kinase FA was found to exist in an inactive state but can be activated by 1% Triton X-100 or 1 M Tris-HCl extraction in brain CCVs. Activation of kinase FA in CCVs is due to disassociation of the kinase from CCVs as demonstrated on sucrose density-gradient ultracentrifugation and Sepharose CL-4B gel filtration. Using purified brain CCVs as substrates, kinase FA enhanced the endogenous phosphorylation of assembly protein complexes in the molecular weight range of 100,000-130,000 severalfold, as demonstrated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis followed by autoradiography. Comparisons with well-defined brain CCV-associated endogenous protein kinases such as pp50 kinase/AP50 and casein kinase 2 provide evidence that kinase FA/GSK-3 represents a third potent and unique CCV-associated protein kinase distinctly different from the previously described CCV protein kinases, suggesting the possible involvement of kinase FA in the regulation of CCV functions in the brain. The results also support the notion that protein kinase FA is involved in cell surface signal transduction in the CNS.

The transforming gene of Abelson murine leukaemia virus (v-abl) codes for a membrane-associated tyrosine-specific protein kinase (abl TPK). Analysis of the v-abl gene has shown that both the fibroblast-transforming and tyrosine-protein kinase activities reside within a minimal region encoding a protein of 43 kDa (p43v-abl), which represents the most active, isolated form of this enzyme. Since the cellular substrates for p43v-abl are yet to be identified, we synthesized by classical solution methods the octapeptide H-Gly-Asp-Thr-Tyr-Thr-Ala-His-Ala-OH, corresponding to the structural sequence of the main putative autophosphorylation site (Tyr 515) of the abl TPK, as well as some of its analogs modified in positions -2, -1, +1 and +3. The synthetic peptides were tested as substrates for the p43v-abl. The kinetic data obtained indicate that the rates of their phosphorylation vary considerably depending on the sequence of the peptide, as expected. As a rule, no significant increment of the efficiency results from each substitution in the parent sequence. While the replacement of the two charged residues, namely Asp-2 and His-7, with neutral Ala is well tolerated, the substitution with amino acids bearing opposite charges is detrimental. The correlation between secondary structure of our synthetic octapeptides and their substrate recognition by p43v-abl was studied using CD and fluorescence spectroscopy in 5 mM Tris, in 98% TFE/Tris and in 30 mM SDS solutions. The comparison of the spectroscopic data with the kinetic parameters does not confirm a close relationship between the conformational properties of these peptides and their enzymatic role.

The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is a cAMP-activated, ATP-dependent chloride channel which may have additional functions. Recent reports that CFTR mediates substantial electrodiffusion of ATP from epithelial cells have led to the proposal that CFTR regulates other ion channels through an autocrine mechanism involving ATP. The aim of this study was to determine the ATP conductance of wild-type CFTR channels stably expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells using patch clamp techniques. In the cell-attached configuration with 100 mM Mg middle dot ATP or Tris middle dot ATP solution in the pipette and 140 mM NaCl in the bath, exposing cells to forskolin caused the activation of a low-conductance channel having kinetics resembling those of CFTR. Single channel currents were negative at the resting membrane potential (Vm), consistent with net diffusion of Cl from the cell into the pipette. The transitions decreased in amplitude, but did not reverse direction, as Vm was clamped at increasingly positive potentials to enhance the driving force for inward ATP flow (>+80 mV). In excised patches, single channel currents did not reverse under essentially biionic conditions (Clin/ATPout or ATPin/Clout), although PKA-activated currents were clearly visible in the same patches at voltages where they would be carried by chloride ions. Moreover, with NaCl solution in the bath and a mixture of ATP and Cl in the pipette, the single channel I/V curve reversed at the predicted equilibrium potential for chloride. CFTR channel currents disappeared when patches were exposed to symmetrical ATP solutions and were restored by reexposure to Cl solution. Finally, in the whole-cell configuration with NaCl in the bath and 100 mM MgATP or TrisATP in the pipette, cAMP-stimulated cells had time-independent, outwardly rectifying currents consistent with CFTR selectivity for external Cl over internal ATP. Whole-cell currents reversed near Vm = -55 mV under these conditions, however the whole cell resistance measured at -100 mV was comparable to that of the gigaohm seal between the plasma membrane and glass pipette (7 Gomega). We conclude that CFTR does not mediate detectable electrodiffusion of ATP.

Chronic feeding of ethanol to rats results in disorganization of the keratin intermediate filament network within hepatocytes. Previous studies from this laboratory have shown that intermediate filament organization in cultured cells is related to the phosphorylation state of the proteins. Therefore, we have examined the phosphorylation state of hepatocyte keratins from control and ethanol-fed rats. Feeding ethanol to rats results in dephosphorylation of one site on keratin 8 and one site on keratin 18 at all time points beginning with 6 weeks of ethanol treatment. Dephosphorylation was detected by phosphate analysis and by two-dimensional electrophoresis in which a change in isoelectric point of keratins from ethanol-fed rats was observed. These observations indicate that dephosphorylation of keratins in ethanol-fed animals may be an early step in alcoholic hepatitis which has occurred by 6 weeks of ethanol treatment. To further characterize keratin dephosphorylation in ethanol-fed rats, we used 31P NMR spectroscopy to classify the dephosphorylation site(s). Hepatocyte keratins were purified and solubilized in 9.5 M urea, 10 mM Tris-Cl, pH 8.1. 31P NMR spectra were obtained at 109 MHz, in 10 mm tubes at 30 degrees C. Samples of hepatocyte keratins were phosphorylated with A-kinase, protein kinase C, casein kinase II or Ca/CAM kinase and these samples were analyzed by 31P NMR spectroscopy. The resulting spectra were used as standards to compare the 31P chemical shifts of the resonances produced by these kinases with the phosphorus resonances of control and experimental samples. The 31P NMR spectrum of control hepatocyte keratins shows three resonances at 0.7, 4 and 5 ppm. In vitro phosphorylation by A-kinase produces a resonance at 4 ppm which is distinctly different from the resonance produced by each of the other kinases. In hepatocyte keratins from ethanol-fed animals, the resonance at 4 ppm was missing from the spectrum. These observations indicate that the keratin site that is dephosphorylated in ethanol-fed rats is characterized by the same 31P chemical shift as the keratin site that is phosphorylated by A-kinase.

Five major polypeptides of 70, 50, 47, 19 and 17 kDa and four minor polypeptides (100, 65, 45 and 39 kDa) become phosphorylated when clathrin-coated vesicles (CCV) from zucchini hypocotyls are incubated in [gamma 32P]Mg-ATP. After dissociation with 0.5 M Tris/HCl the CCV coat polypeptides were subjected to gel filtration in order to separate clathrin triskelions from beta-adaptin-containing fractions. Only the latter bore kinase activities, with phosphorylated polypeptides of 39 kDa in addition to the 50, 19-kDa and 17-kDa polypeptides just mentioned. Heparin, an inhibitor of casein kinase II, permitted the phosphorylation of only the 19-kDa and 17-kDa polypeptides. Staurosporine, an inhibitor of protein kinase c-like activities, prevented the phosporylation of the 70-kDa polypeptide. When recombined with the triskelions the beta-adaptin fractions achieved the phosphorylation of the 45-kDa and 70-kDa polypeptides. Because of its heat stability and calcium-binding properties we interpret the 45-kDa polypeptide as being a clathrin light chain. Antibodies raised against the 70-kDa group of heat-shock proteins (Hsp70) recognize a 70-kDa polypeptide in the beta-adaptin-containing fractions. Because this polypeptide only phosphorylates in the presence of triskelions we consider it to be the uncoating ATPase, which is known to aggregate upon dissociation of the CCV coat. Our results therefore indicate that zucchini CCV contain a number of phosphorylable polypeptides equivalent to the beta, mu and sigma adaptins of bovine brain. Just as in bovine brain CCV a casein-kinase-II-like activity is associated with the zucchini CCV 50/47-kDa polypeptides, further pointing to their identity as plant mu2/mu1 adaptin equivalents.

The molecular mechanisms associated with ATP transport and release into the extracellular milieu are largely unknown. To assess the presence of endogenous ATP-conductive pathway(s) in shark rectal gland (SRG) cells, patch-clamp techniques were applied to primary cultures of SRG cells. Whole cell currents were obtained with either intracellular tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (Tris) or Mg2+ salts of ATP (200 mM nominal ATP) and 280 mM NaCl bathing solution. Basal currents showed a sizable ATP permeability for outward movement of MgATP. Adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) stimulation significantly increased the whole cell conductance (with either intracellular Tris-ATP or MgATP). Symmetrical whole cell ATP currents were also observed after cAMP activation, thus consistent with ATP as the main charge carrier. The cAMP-inducible ATP currents were insensitive to the Cl- channel blockers 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid, diphenylamine-2-carboxylate, and anthracene-9-carboxylic acid but were readily blocked by nifedipine (400 microM) and glibenclamide (400 microM). The nature of the electrodiffusional ATP movement was further assessed by single-channel analysis of either MgATP or Tris-ATP currents in excised inside-out patches, both spontaneous and after activation with protein kinase A. Single-channel ATP currents were inhibited by either nifedipine or glibenclamide. Thus SRG cells express endogenous ATP-permeable pathways both before and after cAMP stimulation. Electrodiffusional ATP movement by SRG cells may play a significant role in the transport and delivery of cellular ATP to the extracellular milieu, which may help coordinate the dynamics of the epithelial secretory response in this cell model.

Myosin binding protein C (MyBP-C) is one of the major sarcomeric proteins involved in the pathophysiology of familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHC). The cardiac isoform is tris-phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase (cAPK) on beta-adrenergic stimulation at a conserved N-terminal domain (MyBP-C motif), suggesting a role in regulating positive inotropy mediated by cAPK. Recent data show that the MyBP-C motif binds to a conserved segment of sarcomeric myosin S2 in a phosphorylation-regulated way. Given that most MyBP-C mutations that cause FHC are predicted to result in N-terminal fragments of the protein, we investigated the specific effects of the MyBP-C motif on contractility and its modulation by cAPK phosphorylation. The diffusion of proteins into skinned fibers allows the investigation of effects of defined molecular regions of MyBP-C, because the endogenous MyBP-C is associated with few myosin heads. Furthermore, the effect of phosphorylation of cardiac MyBP-C can be studied in a defined unphosphorylated background in skeletal muscle fibers only. Triton skinned fibers were tested for maximal isometric force, Ca(2+)/force relation, rigor force, and stiffness in the absence and presence of the recombinant cardiac MyBP-C motif. The presence of unphosphorylated MyBP-C motif resulted in a significant (1) depression of Ca(2+)-activated maximal force with no effect on dynamic stiffness, (2) increase of the Ca(2+) sensitivity of active force (leftward shift of the Ca(2+)/force relation), (3) increase of maximal rigor force, and (4) an acceleration of rigor force and rigor stiffness development. Tris-phosphorylation of the MyBP-C motif by cAPK abolished these effects. This is the first demonstration that the S2 binding domain of MyBP-C is a modulator of contractility. The anchorage of the MyBP-C motif to the myosin filament is not needed for the observed effects, arguing that the mechanism of MyBP-C regulation is at least partly independent of a "tether," in agreement with a modulation of the head-tail mobility. Soluble fragments occurring in FHC, lacking the spatial specificity, might therefore lead to altered contraction regulation without affecting sarcomere structure directly.
